Announcing the outcome of the autopsy to newsmen, the Secretary-General of Nigeria Boxing Board of Control and West African Boxing Union President, Remi Aboderin, said the preliminary post-mortem results indicated cardiac arrest as the cause of death, but further investigation is needed before the body can be released.

“The preliminary post-mortem results indicate that Segun died from sudden cardiac arrest. But further investigation into his heart condition is required, and as a result, his body will not be released to Nigeria for burial until approximately two weeks,” Aboderin said

The autopsy was conducted on Wednesday, April 2 following a court order into the death of the Nigerian boxer.
